Tottenham were given the hardest possible draw for the Uefa Cup quarter-finals today when they were pitted against holders Sevilla.

Spurs have set an English record by winning all eight European ties they've played this season, but the Spanish high-flyers will undoubtedly represent the biggest test they've faced so far. Lying second in La Liga - behind Barcelona only on goal difference - Sevilla have been in scorching form for most of the season, with former Spurs striker Frédéric Kanouté finding the sort of form he only ever showed fleetingly at White Hart Lane. The Malian has hit 19 league goals already this season.

He did not, however, score in either leg of the last round, when Sevilla struggled to dispose of Ukranian side Shakhtar Donetsk, eventually needing extra-time to secure a 5-4 aggregate win last night

If Martin Jol's men do overcome the Spaniards, they will face either Bayer Leverkusen - conquerors of Blackburn earlier in the tournament - or another La Liga side, Osasuna, who knocked out Rangers on Wednesday.

The first leg of the quarter-final will be played on 5 April, with the return in London coming one week later.
